Tim McGraw Starts the New Year With a No. 1 Single

The Billboard charts moved with glacial slowness as 2010 took its leave.

Tim McGraw’s “Felt Good on My Lips” leap-frogged Jason Aldean’s “My Kinda Party” to top the songs chart. But Taylor Swift’s Speak Now kept its tenacious hold as the No. 1 country album. It also remained No. 1 on the Billboard 200 all-genre ranking.

Speak Now sold well over half a million copies in the last two weeks alone.

Two new songs have moved into play: Miranda Lambert’s “Heart Like Mine,” arriving at No. 58, and Lady Antebellum’s “On This Winter’s Night,” twinkling at No. 59.

The Best of Larry the Cable Guy, which bows at No. 72, is the lone new album. Randy Houser’s They Call Me Cadillac returns at No. 75.
